Boston, MA. – According to doctors Monday at Massachusetts General Hospital, the first U.S. penis transplant was performed, calling it a “landmark procedure.”
Sixty-Four-year-old Thomas Manning, is recovering well after the 15-hour procedure performed by a team of over 50 surgeons, doctors and nurses, this month, according to the hospital.
Manning, is from Halifax, Massachusetts. He had his penis amputated after he was diagnosed with penile cancer in 2012.
Although Manning is still healing from the surgery, his doctors said there are no signs of bleeding, rejection or infection, and they are cautiously optimistic that he will regain function.
They expect him to leave the hospital in the next three or four days.
